Who would you like to see as President of the US?
It doesn't have to be someone who has a realistic chance of winning or even a politician. Just someone who you think would make a good president, as long as they are American.

Personally, I'd love to see Colin Powell. I think it would be great for the US to have a minority in the White House, he seems really intelligent and pretty much sits in the political center (as opposed to left- or right-wing). He has a good understanding of international affairs and is not prone to make rash decisions.

I think Powell would be fine but it would be ugly as he would be attacked viciously as an Uncle Tom. Condi Rice would be a good choice but would have the same problem.

yes, I'd generally like to see him, as well. A little bit because he's black, I admit. It would be a great day to race relations in the US. ( and perhaps will help to end the racial division in there. )

George Herbert Walker Bush

Colin Powell would be great too. So would John McCain.

That's a great idea. Just think of what Thatcher could do to Argentina with a real military.

Benito Mussolini if he were still alive... no really... after a few years... the US will become an empire. And terrorism will be wiped out along with a couple million civilians.

Now seriously... Homer Simpson.

If Ralph Nader, Joseph Stalin or any other leftist becomes a president, I will most likely join a rebel group... similar to the AUC.

Colin Powell would be the best choice, but I have a feeling that Bush is going to pick Condoleeza Rice as his next running mate.

Did you just put Joseph Stalin and Ralph Nader in the same class? I finaly understand why everyone makes fun of you.
